Thank you for this important essay. As a Rabbi serving the community but not a specific congregation I have the flexibility to meet people where they are in their lives. I have created a non-profit and a community has grown around that entity but I proudly and emphatically advise that we are not a synagogue. Your essay gives me language to use in describing my avodah and a bit of a boost as well. Todah Rabah. EJK.

Well done and quite necessary at least for this greying ponytailed aging boomer. As Rabbi Evan wrote just above, thanks for the language that describes your important work. If synagogues complain, it’s on them to
make a more compelling case for their value. You serve those who they (synagogues/temples) don’t. Thanks for the work you do.

Biv’racha,
Jordan
